Backuppc has been behaving strangely lately. This is another instance. This is part of the log file for host steve: 2009-08-12 01:00:06 full backup started for directory / 2009-08-12 01:00:06 full ba

Can you 'mv /media/disk/pc/steve/new /media/disk/pc/steve/151' as the backuppc user? Also, look at the output of 'dmesg' - you might have physical disk errors. If this is a packaged (rpm) install, di

Hi, I used to have exactly this problem. I guess you changed TopDir in your config.pl file, right? Well, BackupPC 3.1.0 has a bug in that TopDir change will not affect the "pool" and "cpool" director
